Got a puppy

October 18, 2004 Posted by mitch | dog, life | 0 Comments

My wifes been saying she wants a puppy for a couple months, and saturday she essintally said "We're going to Petsmart in Orem to adopt a puppy". I didn't have much of a choice... However we did come home with a rather cute little Jack Russel Terrier Mix...(the mom was the terrier, and the dad was a mix of atleast a Australian Sheep dog? and a Blue Heeler) So, she doesn't really look like a terrier other than her size. She'll stay small, but shes kinda a fat little dog. I'm not sure what my wife has planned to name her, shes been trying to deside between two names "Akira" and "Echo". She was leaning toward Akira but couldn't deside, so I just started calling her Akira. Getting her house trained is the next big thing. I think I'm getting a handle on it however. She'll go, just have to remember to take her outside every 2-3 hours atleast. However, shes also getting alot better at going on these trainning pads we bought her as well. Locking her in the kitchen during the night seems to be working, last night she only went on the mats. Anyway, I know I still have a long ways to go with her, but I think were going in the right direction.
